05 January.
Finally, after a discussion with Aldy. The man is willing to let go of Jessica for his unfinished dreams and promises. However, behind his decision, Aldy still set Jessica with some rules. Jessica just agreed to the rule so that Aldy was satisfied and calm.
"You can't fall in love with another man anymore!" he said when he called Jessica yesterday. Aldy keeps calling Jessica every hour. She was really scared if Jessica disappeared and just left.
Aldy even sent people to look after Jessica, actually he knew, it was not necessary he did. Jessica is not a weak woman to be looked after by others, but for some reason, Aldy still sends the man to calm his heart and mind.
The 05th of January. Jessica got a call from the police. The police report that Mona and William died by suicide in their cell.
Jessica bit her lower lip, there was a pain attacking the Wolf's heart. However, Mona is still Jessica's real aunt, part of her extended family.
Black clouds accompany Jessica's footsteps when she visits Mona's funeral. His heart was broken to see Andre crying over the tomb.
Jessica approached Andre, sitting right next to her cousin. "Ni."
Andre was silent, he could feel Jessica's hand clinging to his shoulder.
His eyes were embarrassed looking at Jessica. In the past, he had scolded Jessica, but now, the woman had come to him in his most frail moments.
Julian, Jessica's uncle, Andre's father. The man has been leaving the country since Mona was named prime suspect in the Jack and Morgan case a few months ago.
"Ndre, you still have Sister Jess. Be patient! God will not test us beyond our abilities." Jessica stroked Andre's shoulder gently. He smiled, trying to strengthen Andre even though he himself was fragile.
Andre looked towards Jessica. Staring at those sharp eyes that turned dim.
"I'm sorry, sorry, Sister Jess," Andre said with a hand holding the grave ground. "I'm sorry Mama, Papa and I."
Andre's eyes stared at Jessica's fingers, at a glance, he smiled when he saw Jessica's ring finger adorned by a simple, but expensive ring.
"I'll go, brother." Andre stood up and was followed by Jessica.
"I'm going back to Canada" Andre said seriously.
"What about your college? So who are you going to live with there?" Jessica blocked Andre's steps, she stood right in front of the man.
"I'm gonna get away from here, I don't know, brother. I don't know who to share it with." Now that Andre is starting to weaken, he again sits next to Mona's grave.
"Continue college! You stay here, you have Sister Jess, and your friends. Don't they always come with you?" Jessica sat down next to Andre. He looked into Andre's eyes which were starting to fade.
"I, I guess, I can't survive without Papa and Mama. I'm alone, I don't have anyone else." The famous Andre the Motor Child is missing, there is no longer a songy Andre. Just one shock made him lose his own identity.
"You saw Jess! Nine years old, nine years old Jess grew up without Mom and Dad. Five-year-old Sister Jess lives without a family, does Sister Jess ever look fragile? Sister Jess is fragile! But Jess never showed that side to anyone! You, have you ever seen Sister Jess despair? Don't you know how devastated Sister Jess is with the passing of Father and Mother? You know, how her heartache sister Jess lost all the extended family sister Jess? Uncle? Aunty? Jess lost it all! Losing all the affection that Sister Jess should have had back then!" Jessica took a breath, she directed her hand, stroking the back of Andre's hand.
Andre looked at Jessica's face. "Sister Jess." She wanted to hug Jessica, just as she could hug her first lady, when they were little.
Jessica asked Andre to come home. The man looked so tired, tired both mentally and physically.
Previously, Jessica told Andre, he asked Andre not to sell the house or all the items in it. He wants Andre to keep the house full of history. The house that held it for 3 years.

Without thinking, Aldy leaves the company when he gets news of Mona and William's death. He did not think of the two people who died, his mind drifting on Jessica. She knew Jessica must have been hit and needed a friend to share her wounds.
The sun is already in position, it will sink and greet the rest of the Earth. Aldy has arrived at Jessica's rented gate. He contacted Jessica, asking the woman to open the gate.
Jessica was a little surprised, she did not expect Aldy would come without telling her first. Jessica opened the gate, but Aldy did not want to enter, he instead invited Jessica to talk outside.
"You must be tired, why come without telling me?" jessica said, she looked at Aldy. The man was still wearing his formal clothes.
"I-I, I'm worried about you," Aldy replied honestly. His eyes and hands focused on the steering wheel and the road in front of him.
"I told you, you don't have to go overboard like this! You need a break, you can see me tomorrow, right? Don't force yourself like this." Jessica looked at Aldy's handsome face. That face really looks worried. Jessica smiled, I don't know, she was happy because Aldy was so worried about her.
"I can't, I can't prevent myself. I really don't want you to get hurt, in the least, heart or physique." Aldy glanced at Jessica at a glance, he exhaled slowly.
Jessica does not look okay, the woman is good at hiding her injuries to others, including Aldy.
Aldy took Jessica to a cafe. He ordered food and drink for himself and Jessica.
"I don't want you to feel that loss again, yeah, I know, I understand. All of this is God's destiny, I mean, I don't want you to feel the pain yourself, I want you to share with me, tell me everything." Aldy looked at Jessica, his brain could not even string together perfect words when worried like this.
"You don't be like this. Trust me, I'm fine. I'll tell him everything if I can't bear it myself. You calm down, I'm used to it, it's not the first time I've felt a sense of loss" Jessica replied. He smiled, his eyes staring at Aldy's brown eyes.
"Yes, I know. But I'm really worried. I love you so much, I'm afraid of losing you." Aldy's face looked calmer, but not with his mind.
The two kept talking, Aldy told me about Kamila and Mom. Kamila is even more mature, he has obtained permission to bring his own car from Aldy. Aldy continued to tell the story, without letting Jessica interrupt the story.
"Yes, God. It had only been three days not to meet, but he had already spoken this much. What about a week? A month? or a year," murmured Jessica. He was silent, as Aldy's eyes looked at him.
"Eat! Don't talk anymore!" Aldy refocused on his food, while Jessica, the Wolf focused on Aldy's already very calm face.
Aldy drove Jessica home, actually, he didn't want to part with Jessica. But time has not allowed the two to be together, forever.
Am I overreacting with Jessica? Am I that crazy? I think this is natural. I worry about the people I love, Ah. I have indeed gone mad from falling in love with that Female Wolf! Aldi
